    Non circulating legal tender is intended and targeted for the collector, but sometimes (mostly in more classical times) some of the NCLT's wound up in the mainstream of circulation due to an issue not totally selling out (happened quite often)....... Isabella Quarters and Columbian Exposition Half Dollars to name just two. I know some of you guys have got them, so why not post 'em? Here's a well worn example of one of mine.......

    Caz, when I was your age, it was commem's that I most loved and adored, I just couldn't afford the danged things. That love has carried me through to current times when I can finally afford to collect what I love. What that amounted to was trading off some of my earlier holdings to collect the coins that really speak to me. It doesn't happen over night. It's a journey. Eyes on the prize my friend. :)

    No picture of the 1893 that I got for about $2, as a kid growing up in the Chicago area. I got this circulated 1892 yesterday - it closely matches the wear on my 1893. I figured it was only fair that I should have both years. :)

    I have one too, but was never sure if it circulated or if it's just old toning. One of my favorite commemoratives.

    Here's one of the very few US coins to feature a living person-- the Alabama centennial commemorative, which depicts the man who was governor when the coin was issued (as well as the state's first governor) 1921 Alabama 50c obv.jpg 1921 Alabama 50c rev.jpg .
